| Episode Narrative | Numerous severe thunderstorms erupted along a cold front in the afternoon and evening hours. Many of the storms produced large hail, and a total of 6 tornadoes were recorded. The most significant tornado was an EF-2 in Ellis County, but an EF-2 tornado also occurred in Hill County. Several reports of golf ball sized hail were received, but the largest hail stone reported was 3 inches in Johnson County. |
| Event Narrative | Per videos from storm chasers, a brief tornado touched down a few miles east of Grandview. During its brief time on the ground, it damaged power lines and a utility pole along with trees in the area. This is consistent with EF-0 damage caused by 65 mph winds. |
